Blackview A80 Pro Design And Display
The design and display of the Blackview A80 Pro are what you would expect in a budget device. The body is made of plastic as expected with a quad-camera setup at the top left side of its back accompanied by an LED flash beside it and a fingerprint sensor at it’s the usual spot. Blackview has its name written far down below the fingerprint sensor.
Meanwhile, the front of the device is covered with a 6.49-inch notched display. The display is an IPS LCD panel with an HD+ resolution and a 19:9 aspect ratio. Sitting in the notch up top is the front-facing camera which has no LED flash.
Blackview A80 Pro weighs just 180g and measures 8.8mm in thickness. The plastic back looks very good in gradient blue. However, it comes in three other colours which include Coral Red, Jade Green and Midnight Black.
Camera Review
